as we are go higher above the earth our weight decreases. explain
Answers
Explanation:
We know that weight of a body is the force with which the body is attracted towards the centre of earth.
W = m × g
Where, m = Mass of the body
And, g = Acceleration due to gravity
The mass of a body or object is constant and does not change from place to place.
But acceleration due to gravity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the centre of earth. So, as we go up from surface of the earth, the distance from the centre of earth increases and hence value of g decreases.
Since, W = m × g
So, as the g decreases, weight of the body also decreases with increase in height above the earth. Thus, as we go higher above the surface of the earth the weight of the body decreases.
Answer:
as we move towards height , gravitational force becomes weaker as well as atmospheric pressure increase on us
Explanation:
since weight is calculated by multiplying mass and gravitational constant ,so as g decreases weight also decreases
